Sunset Cruise #2

Once more with less style. And definitely less satisfaction. 1-3 knots of wind, unsteady. Windward leeward course, shortened. Seas? Well not as flat as they could have been. Short-handed in conditions in which we most need extra hands. Didn't learn much. Hard work. Finished 8th out of 16 starters. 'Nuff said.

  1. When you passed us (before we dropped out) you were on the bow, holding out the genny. I thought you were the skipper?

    1. When we're short-handed, I'm all over the boat, SJ!

  2. Nice photo Doc...any time on the water is better than time on land, especially with such a sunset

  3. I am short handed, Doc. I also have small feet.

    1. Today we needed all short-handed people, Panda. There were only three of us against 30 knots. Had to withdraw!
